I've got 6x Dulasky MR Brushless Motor XM5015MR-6 + ZTW ESC 40 The ESCs should just be the latest simonk firmware according to my dealer. I have not bothered reprogramming them. I'm going to bench test the heck out of this leg this afternoon. I have a replacement ESC handy that I'll fool...

http://imgur.com/ldOkY7U http://imgur.com/dArZVL5 These connectors don't seem small. They do not get hot after flight. Do you think I need larger ones? They seem to match the wire gauge well, 12ga supply. The motors are 390kv mated to 40A esc's. Your thought about heat or vibe may be spot on...

Thanks for the suggestions. I did check the linkage and connectors. I use the 2.5mm bullets on both the supply and motor side. Those are all very snug and I wiggled them all to check for any play. It's not the PDB, that's solid. I like your idea of strapping it to the bench. I think I will try...

Hi, Today I took my Hex out to test some autopilot features. On a few occasions in the air, motor 3 cut out very briefly, around 250-300ms. It caused the entire copter to loose orientation, as you would imagine and then luckily it recovered. I was able to land w/o incident, but it was...

I'm not 100% sure how to answer that. I believe both times it had the same behavior with regard to gps. But with the older software it seemed to actually do something about it. The led and log indicated >6 satellites both times and I gave it a good 2 minutes of sync up time before flight. The...

I can find it online for 1k. Check out fpv style dot com. USD 999.00 for the -M redundant system.

@ Bry - Your post was the first I've heard about the Gemini. Based on my initial googl'ing, those guys seem to have a nice product. Even double redundant parts including flight controller. I wish I would have known about them before buying the Wookong. They are about 1k for their system. A bit...

Oh, also, I did not notice it drop out of GPS mode today once! 8Sat's or better for the entire 3 flights, GPS was always selected.

@Baja, I did downgrade to 5.20 today, I was thinking the same thing and your suggestion made me go ahead and do it. While I lost the 50-waypoint free upgrade, I can say the GPS hold is much better. I was able to adjust gains this time, which I was not able to do before (too much time on the...

Thank you for the suggestion. This seems to be highly controversial. I've read about as many articles saying to rigidly mount it as I've read to mount it isolated from vibration. I think even DJI makes a specific part to mount the imu in a vibraton isolated way on their platforms. My thoughts...

Very interesting. I bought my wkm from aerial media pros, I believe they are in California. I do have video setup but honestly I was not monitoring it, just the led. I was using the iosd flight logs to get the data. I do see it flipping between GPS and attitude, but without the monitor, I...
